And in the end of the sabbath, when it began to dawn towards the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalen and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre.
|
2
|
And behold there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and coming rolled back the stone and sat upon it.
|
3
|
And his countenance was as lightning and his raiment as snow.
|
4
|
And for fear of him, the guards were struck with terror and became as dead men.
|
5
|
And the angel answering, said to the women: Fear not you: for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.
|
6
|
He is not here. For he is risen, as he said. Come, and see the place where the Lord was laid.
|
7
|
And going quickly, tell ye his disciples that he is risen. And behold he will go before you into Galilee. There you shall see him. Lo, I have foretold it to you.
|
8
|
And they went out quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy, running to tell his disciples.
|
9
|
And behold, Jesus met them, saying: All hail. But they came up and took hold of his feet and adored him.
|
10
|
Then Jesus said to them: Fear not. Go, tell my brethren that they go into Galilee. There they shall see me.
|
11
|
Who when they were departed, behold, some of the guards came into the city and told the chief priests all things that had been done.
|
12
|
And they being assembled together with the ancients, taking counsel, gave a great sum of money to the soldiers,
|
13
|
Saying: Say you, His disciples came by night and stole him away when we were asleep.
|
14
|
And if the governor shall hear of this, we will persuade him and secure you.
|
15
|
So they taking the money, did as they were taught: and this word was spread abroad among the Jews even unto this day.
|
16
|
And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
|
17
|
And seeing him they adored: but some doubted.
|
18
|
And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth.
|
19
|
Going therefore, teach ye all nations: baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
|
20
|
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. And behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.
